Thanks- I'm fairly certain i'm going outside tomorrow no matter what.
I've watched like 4 movies today- I'm sure at least 3000 brain cells
have died today just from watching drivel for hours- but I don't have
any energy to do anything.....so.... yuck. Tomorrow I MUST be better.

It is ONLY 100 here today- still hot as can be. I'm stuck inside
anyway with a stupid cold- just feel crappy and I'm sick of watching
movies, but no energy to do anything else (except think of the giant
list of thinks I'd like to be doing.)

Yes, it is just hot. Not in the 100's here only the low 90's but the
humidity has moved in with a vengeance so it's pretty darned
miserable outside. My A/C is set on 76 which is warm for me and it
feels like an ice cube in here compared to outside.

Well guess I am the coolest (!!!) of the California crowd. 105 here
today at 2500 ft elevation -- hottest I've recorded on my property.
It only got down to about 75 here last night as I get the updraft of
heat from the Sacramento valley. However I am comfortable with A/C
and good shades, and so far all the cats and plants are fine.
Slight cooling supposed to start tomorrow.
Watched the fireworks from a gated subdivision with lake down
below me -- great advantage of being up here on the hill, all the
view and no crowds (and no homeowners fee).

Yep- here too. It is 108 at 7pm. It's cooling down- our high was
109. It was only going to be 105 today- but nope it was hotter!
Tomorrow is supposed to only be 100- yeah right...I'll believe it
when I see it.
There were also ALOT of illegal fireworks here this year- usually
there are only a couple- but wow- there were many many this year.
Nothing close enough to concern me about fire at my house thankfully.
I am fighting a rat battle again this summer. Where do they come
from??? I thought about getting one of those electric shock rat
killer contraptions, but I was too afraid some other little
creature might go in and get zapped. So, yes, I've resorted to rat
poison again. Thing is, this apparently is a really picky rat, and
does like the first brand I put out...good greif.

We don't have weather, we have heat. It was 110 here
yesterday and probably the same today, supposed to
cool down to 108 tomorrow. We spent most of the
afternoon under the sycamore yesterday, not cool but
at least outside. Usually we go watch fireworks but
you have to get there early for a seat, and the
thought of sitting in the stands for 3 hours was too
much. Instead we stayed at home. Since we're usually
out I had no idea we lived in such a war zone on July
4. You'd never know that private fireworks are illegal
here; I think there were just as many as at the
fairgrounds. Fortunately nothing close by caught on
fire. I'm going to pick beans tomorrow and see if I have
enough for another canner load. My sister wanted
zucchini and I said "Sure!". She got a bag with about
15 of them, everything I picked last night. Told her
when I see her on Friday she can have more, I bet she
won't take them. Cyndi
